Thoughts on small/compact form factor phones

I really love the Nothing phone 2a, it incorporating the great features and built of a nothing phone and also being budget friendly. The only issue i face is its size. I know a lot of people love a big screen size, I on the other hand prefer a small screen size (aorund 5.5 inches) due to its pocket and hand friendly nature and am Dreaming of a nothing phone with a smaller size. I would love to know the thoughts of people in this community who truly love and support this brand and moreover know the product very well.
So, what do you guys think?

Hello,

I would like to share a quite real idea for a mini version Nothing Phone.

I think we also need a smaller version of Nothing Phone like s24 or Pixel 5 size.

Now i use Pixel 4a user, but I miss a similar-sized successor. I like the look of Nothing Phone and Nothing OS im ready to change pixel to Nothing Phone mini

My dream spec NP mini:

• Phone height: under 148mm
• Phone widht: under 72mm
• Phone thickness: under 9mm
• Phone weight: under 180g
• Screen size: minimum 6.0 inch max. 6.2 inch with 90hz or 120hz OLED or AMOLED with 1400Nits
• 8GB ram/ 128GB
• Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
• Battery 4000-4400mah for 5-7h SOT
• Fast charging 45W and Wireless charging
• 2 Camera in Phone: 1-Normal angle 2-Wide Angle
• Under Display fingerprint sensor
• 3 years Update Android
• IP 54 or IP67
• NFC and 5G

Price: 500-600$

Thoughts on this? As a phablet user, I’m over these huge phones. I’m seriously craving a small, comfy device. It would be awesome if Nothing released something like that, really)

I think the most comfortable size is 5.9-6.2 inches

@Rob - maybe you can provide some light on this. I saw no nothing-opinion on this matter so far but as there are several threads, I may have missed it.

Nothing may have some better sales details on that (iphone 13 / 12 mini / SE; ASUS Zenphone 10/9; others???) but it seems that a broad offering of compact phones is no longer there. Meanwhile many of the mentioned phones out of production or no longer updated (iphone 14 & 16 without mini option; last iphone SE from 2022; Asus Zenphone 11 with 6.7′' screen). I hear a lot of complaints about this fact but the market seems to go away from this?

From my perspective a reasonable spot for Nothing to evaluate additional market share, best w/o compromising specs and features for a more compact version. price range of competition still between 500 and 700 EUR (Europe), providing some options here.

Hey! I want to know whether nothing is planning is to release a compact phone, I’m a really huge fan of Asus Zenfone 10. Watching all the phones from nothing being 6.7 inch, I feel like we need a phone in compact segment. It’s evident that there are many people wanting compact phones from the sales of Samsung flagships. And also since nothing believes in using the phone for essential purposes (glyphs), a smaller size would support it’s motto.

Hoping I will soon see a compact segment killer from nothing!

A Game Changer for Nothing.

Does Nothing have any plan on releasing a successor to 2a with smaller size and lighter in weight for single handed use.

Smaller phone options in the market are very less

That’s is my dream!

Really want Nothing to make a phone with 6.1 or 6.2 inch phone. Industrially it would really be a good as a compact phone for a company too. Like pixel, samsung or apple do.

Hello, it would be great if you have a model in your portfolio with smaller sizes compared to the front ones.  Something 6.1 inches would be lovely.

There should be a smaller version of nothing phone’s premium variant

6″ would be also more than ok if you ask me
